Spec 2017+ Ford Focus RS 2.3T Stage 3+ Clutch Kit

SPEC is known for making well-built drivetrain components, and this Stage 3+ Clutch Kit for the 2017-2018 Ford Focus RS 2.3T is a prime example. If you're pushing your Focus RS hard, whether on the track or in spirited street driving, you'll want a clutch that can handle the extra power and abuse. This kit is designed to hold significantly more torque than the factory clutch, giving you the confidence to put down serious power without worrying about clutch slip.

This Stage 3+ kit features a high-performance sprung organic friction disc paired with a billet steel cover and a billet steel flywheel. The sprung organic disc offers a good balance between holding power and drivability, making it suitable for daily use while still being able to handle aggressive driving. The billet steel cover provides increased clamping force, ensuring that the clutch engages firmly and consistently, even under high load. The billet steel flywheel is a solid piece that helps manage heat and provides a stable platform for the clutch assembly.

When installing this clutch kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, especially regarding flywheel and pressure plate bolt torquing. You'll also want to ensure the clutch alignment tool is used correctly for proper disc centering. Because this is a performance upgrade, you may notice a firmer pedal feel compared to the stock clutch, and engagement might be a bit more abrupt. This is normal for a clutch designed to handle higher horsepower and torque levels. It's recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the installation if you're not experienced with clutch replacements, as it involves removing the transmission.
